Q

Anticoagulation and fibrinolysis:

A

1.Degrades the clot by tissue-type or urokinase-type plasminogen activator
Endothelial cells secrete t-PA (fibrinolysis) at sites of injury, rapidly inactivated in blood
2.Thrombomodulin -blocks coagulation cascade by binding thrombin leading to inactivation of factor V and VIII
3.Release of prostacyclin-inhibits platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction
4. Antithrombin III- surface heparin-like molecules and blocks coagulation cascade
5.Tissue factor pathway inhibitor- inhibits extrinsic coagulation pathway

Q

The secondary hemostasis: coagulation process involves:

A

Is a clotting cascade that leads to thrombin activation ad formation of fibrin fibers to stabilize hemostatic plug
Thrombin is the final active protease
The cascade is initiated via the Intrinsic and extrinsic system.
vitamin k is required to be activated throughout the intrinsic system, extrinsic system, and final common pathway.
In the final common pathway vitamin k is required to be activated for the production of prothrombin—> thrombin—>fibrinogen—->fibrin
